Posts: 394 | TRON LEGACY/FLYNN LIVES OFFICIAL ARG on Monday, July, 27, 2009 10:29 PM
For anyone who remembers my TR2N ARG? thread from a year ago, well... there's just one thing I want to say... Now I'm sure this is the beginning of the official TRON movie sequel ARG!!! So we better start getting organized my friends! Don't you get it? THIS WAS MADE FOR US!!!
If everyone agree, we could let everybody know about anything we find or think of throughout the week in this thread FIRST and have a 'brainstorming' session via Tron-Sector's Live Web Chat on weekends...
We need to get our programs running... for there are a bunch of clues at FlynnLives.com already...
JOIN THE SEARCH FOR KEVIN FLYNN
We need everyone's help to find out the truth behind Kevin Flynn's disappearance.
And so we have:
5 words between quotation marks:
disappear
Level 3
Elvira
Troniacs
Albino Cow
5 places/cities:
Central Park, New York.
The "fringes" of San Francisco.
West Hollywood, California.
Dayton, Ohio.
Southern New Jersey.
5 audio files/codes:
Audio file 1:
Evolution. Evolution is the greatest force in the material world. Evolution will provide us the next step in intelligent life, but it will come from somewhere unexpected.
Audio file 2:
I'll tell you what it has... It has the potential to cause the greatest paradigm shift in the history of mankind. This will unleash the power of human intelligence.
Audio file 3:
Quantum is the future of science. With it digital teleportation may be possible.
Audio file 4:
What I've done is creating a Newtonian playground placed for the largest, most significant experiment in the human history to occur. That's what I've done.
Audio file 5:
Soon we will all be watched over by machines... machines of loving grace. That's to paraphrase an old friend of mine Richard Brautigan.
(As you can see the number "5" is the magic number here for we see a mention of a $5,000 award too.)
We also see a "by December 31st" date...
(We can consider these the "highlights" of the "movement")
Last but not least, we have:
5 articles/images with lots of references and more info, including 5 dates:
June 1993
February 18 1990
12/12/89
April 27 1996
11/6/89
(Who wants to try and check if these images have hidden/crypted messages?)
We need to start making some 'associations' and figure out all this...
WHO'S WITH ME ON THIS?

There doesn't appear to be any exif data hidden in the .jpg files.
The resolution of the images doesn't appear to be able to be translated into meaningful Latitude / Longitude coordinates.
I have to re-read the articles; there might be clues in the text.
Have to admit, the "albino cow" thing is really weird...is it saying that Flynn looked like an albino cow when he was spotted in S Jersey, or what? The only "cow" thing that comes to mind when I think about S Jersey is the Cowtown Rodeo / bazaar.
Or is the "Albino Cow", "Elvira" and other sighting names simply the handles of the users who supposedly experienced the "sighting"? Maybe we should try emailing Elvira@flynnlives.org?

Excellent work Calthaer! I believe you know about 'cyptography' more than I do so let's get that out of the way...
Also, I like the way you're thinking regarding places, users and "sightings" overrall... However I say we should try sending those emails ONLY to the domain names we currently know of, that is, flynnlives.com and homeoftron.com...
What can we lose? Let's try that and keep each other informed...
THAT'S TWO. WHO ELSE IS IN?

Weird... Weird... Weird...
Check this out...
I decided to start working "in order", that is, according to the "highlights" timeline, trying to figure out something about this first "disappear" keyword... I noticed that such keyword is also mentioned at the bottom of the "Dead or in Love?" pic as follows:
#1 place to "disappear": Papua New Guinea
So I do a Google search on that and some more "search within results" thing using "Flynn" and I found out that:
- A famous mountain climber, Kevin Flynn, had this dangerous experience while in Papua New Guinea and stated:
"People can disappear and never be heard from again..." here: http://westpapuafree.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/high-mountain-high-stakes/Also, he has his own website which reminds me of that scene in the teaser trailer where Flynn's up in that mountain...
- Another famous "Flynn", Errol Flynn, the Australian-American film actor, visited New Guinea on several ocassions during his lifetime.
- AND a "Sean Flynn" appears in this List of people who disappeared mysteriously from Wikipedia... and I quote:
Sean Flynn (Errol's son), american photojournalist on assignment for Time Magazine, was captured by communist guerrillas while travelling by motorcycle in Cambodia.
I'll be on the lookout for more clues regarding all this and let you know as soon as I find something else...order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill You need to check out the COMPLETELY UNOFFICIAL TRON TIMELINE!

Ug, your killing me.
But along those lines there's 5 quotes also in the timeline
computer space
trackball
space invaders
worm
a digital frontier that will reshape the human condition.
Why do they only put quotes around some of the game titles in the timeline? They certainly spent considerable time writing & making those articles.
5 letters in ENCOM and Flynn
Probably nothing but all the clipped words on the left repeat and are nonsensical words.
Other newsprint had some of the same words clipped "sit" http://www.flynnlives.com/images/diversificationfull.jpg
There's a missing Sean 'Flynn' movie currently in production - I found initially by differencing versions of wikipedia on Sean Flynn http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1277943/ made by http://www.mythicfilms.com/ I wouldn't be suprised if that movie was an inspiration for this whole thing.
Jeeze I keep adding to this post, the quoted "level 3" is a popular "WEST Hollywood" nightclub http://www.level3hollywood.com/ sponsored by a popular radio network KIIS-FM, which happens to be the only radio station i've ever heard to play Daft Punk (circuitious 'Around the World' tune). The place isn't very big to have a full concert, just a rentable dance club.

Weird, I thought some of the quoting and Papa New Guinea placement was very suspicious. Now I’ll have to get time to look things over again. I’ll try not to read too much into things though, if I can.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Excellent work Daddyo!!! I think it's a safe bet to say that something WILL happen in this place at some point later on...
Everybody on Tron-Sector.com!!! WE NEED TO KNOW WHO LIVES NEAR THE AFOREMENTIONED PLACES/CITIES!!!
Also, I've updated my first post with the dates in the pics/articles.
Next, I suggest working on those "articles authors names" :

I'm not a puzzle solver unfortunately. Not enough adrenaline normally. Although I can't help but look at this stuff. I found the word "Ducky" in all the jpg's binary file, which I found out is what you get when these files are created by Photoshop's "Save for Web" option.
If it's anagrams, I found this website to try it on http://www.anagrammer.com/decoder, you guys try it. I tried it a bit and didnt find much yet, although 'tron' is in Thadius Gnorf. If it's anything, maybe its tron related nouns/names in them?

Looka here...
I decided working on those 5 "audio files" unlocked in flynnlives.com/derez
I updated those above, but in #5 we hear:
"Soon we will all be watched over by machines... machines of loving grace. That's to paraphrase an old friend of mine Richard Brautigan."
Well, regarding Richard Brautigan... He was a 20th century American writer. His novels and stories often have to do with Zen Buddhism. Zen emphasizes in the attainment of awakening, often simply called the path of enlightenment. Particularly as realized in the form of meditation known as zazen (literally "seated meditation") and dharma practice. (Read my "FLYNN'S STUFFED PIG THEORY" thread for more on this HERE )
In the spring of 1967, Brautigan was Poet-in-Residence at the California Institute of Technology (Yeah, you guessed it... CALTECH as seen in the "WHO IS THE MOST AMAZING?" article/pic). During this year, he published the poem All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. The title poem envisions a world where cybernetics has advanced to a stage where it allows a return to the balance of nature and an elimination of the need for human labor.
Here it is...
"All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace"
I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.
I like to think
(right now please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.
I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill You need to check out the COMPLETELY UNOFFICIAL TRON TIMELINE!

Very nice poem, very interesting. Well I certainly tried googling (as I'm sure many others) Richard Brautigan right after I heard it, but of course couldn't spell it right. It's a shame life wasn't easier for him. Edit: found the original for posterity:
Well when I wrote my doctoral thesis on Steve Jobs I remember he was also an advocate of Zen Buddhism (ok maybe I wikipediad a little while ago). Far out there is that the publisher of one of Brautigan's poems "All Girls Should Have a Poem" was Midpeninsula Free University and published in Palo Alto, California. The university was attended by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak (Apple who else).
When you have google at your fingertips, anything sounds interestingly related...the question is, is it? The story sounds like they created something like Jobs but whose focus & fortune instead was initially video games.

I keep reading this thread, so I might as well post in it.
I'm not so sure that they've really got much in the way of an ARG going here yet, more of just a way to embed the history of Kevin Flynn and EnCom into real events, making it easier to start an ARG. But I think all they've got going is just the basic building blocks, they haven't started to really build it up yet. All the same, cool stuff. Nice poem, too, I liked that.

This may have been done by the same company ( http://www.42entertainment.com/) that did Dark Knight alternate reality game (ARG), http://batman.wikibruce.com/Home - if so then there's more coming if it's anywhere close to the same scale. This per website http://creativity-online.com/news/disneys-tron-arg/138197 but lists no references why they would know this.
Note their techniques are to "hide in plain sight":
"Story elements that are artfully placed across existing media platforms are an effective way to deliver content as well as to drive attention to everyday messaging."
I made a tiny observation about KIIS-FM & Daft Punk above, again probably nothing but entertaining nontheless. |

Didn't find anything major, but if you rearrange some of the letters in the names you get names from some of the characters in tron.

This was definitely done by http://www.42entertainment.com/ - I found that their IP address is the same as that of www.homeoftron.com and www.flynnlives.com. Their ARG's are of various sizes so who's to know if it's done yet or not. We did have a really good couple of "endgames" with Flynn's arcade and the full comicon video.
I doubt it is done due to the weird phrases, and the sign up page which I'd guess is required. I would think about possible future events from hints, not new web sites at the moment. Marketing might be waiting to see the interest at their two sites, signups, as well as elsewhere to determine if they want to develop an expanded ARG, at least that's how I'd have done it if I were a "frugal" marketing customer. |

That's excellent news. This means we can expect some cool viral sites out of this (and some cool swag opportunities) like with TDK's viral. Hopefully we'll see something soon, but for now, just keep looking for clues as to our next site.
